Ronstan - All about the new Orbit Winch
Leveraging expertise from Andersen Stainless Steel Winches®, Ronstan developed a new range of aluminum winches prioritizing reliability, efficiency, and user experience. The Orbit Winch™ project focused on three sizes for boats up to 12m, undergoing rigorous refinement and on-the-water testing before introducing lightweight alloy winches with race-ready performance, tool-free disassembly, and the patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer*.
Ronstan Orbit Winches™ feature lightweight, machined aluminium drums and distinctive Power Ribs™, providing maximum line grip with minimal abrasion. Orbit Winches sized 30QT and larger have the all-new, patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer for rapid sail trim and smooth adjustment. No tools are required for disassembly and maintenance.
Ronstan's QuickTrim™ self-tailer simplifies minor sail trim adjustments without removing the winch handle, offering racing sailors a crucial advantage in responding to wind shifts or steering changes. Its intuitive operation and easy activation process make it a convenient feature for both racing and cruising sailors.
